Re: Skyrocket - Gorilla Glass?

Neither the Skyrocket nor the Galaxy S2 have Gorilla Glass.

I verified this from two different emails last week from Samsung (emphasis mine)

Dear Jon,

Thank you for your inquiry.

The Samsung Skyrocket (SGH-I727) does not feature the Gorillaglass. However, we assure you that the all components of the phone passed the Samsung quality and is tested to withstand multiple different conditions. It also features the Super AMOLED™ Plus Technology that enables users to interact with a phone by touching images, words, or icons on the display.

Do you have more questions regarding your Samsung Mobile Phone? For 24 hour information and assistance, we offer our new FAQ/ARS System - Automated Response System at http://www.samsung.com/support

It's like having your very own personal Samsung Technician at your fingertips.

We appreciate your continued interest in Samsung products.

Well, that's kinda lame. I wonder if the screen would crack a lot easier if it were dropped. My friend has a Captivate (like me) with Gorilla Glass, and she cracked her screen when she dropped the phone on her tile floor.

Re: Skyrocket - Gorilla Glass?

Only one way to find out...

I truly believe that it is, considering that other Samsung phones of the Galaxy S line are standard equipped with Gorilla Glass. Samsung would be silly not to include it on either of the new Galaxy S IIs.

Two different topic. Gorilla Glass (or not) is a protective layer on top of the Super AMOLED+ screen. With Gorilla Glass on top, the screen is more durable against common scratches. It has nothing to do with what screen display technology is used underneath.
